Citrine Crystals Meaning, History and Symbolism

Citrine derives its name off the French citron or lemon and this is the most appropriate name to give to the gemstone with its yellow sun-like rays.

The history of Citrine dates back to the ancient period. Citrine jewelry was worn by the ancient Greeks as early as 300 B.C. and they liked its luminous energy. Romans subsequently cut ornamental items out of the citrine and put the stone into rings and brooches. Citrine is said to guard against snake bite and evil thoughts, and had been used over many centuries by travelers as a charm of safety.

The symbolism of Citrine has always been based on the motifs of well-being, life, and clarity. It was brought with them by merchants to bring wealth and was thus called the stone of the merchants. It is the opposite of the darker stones, which are connected with mystery because citrine brings a positive and light effect. Most practitioners of metaphysics have pointed out that citrine is among the few crystals that do not require cleansing because it dissipates negative energy instead of absorbing it.
